Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a process to establish the safe minimum levels of maintenance while ensuring an equipment continues to perform its design function within the current operating context. It achieves this by providing a means for determining optimal maintenance and operational strategies based on the probability and consequence of the analyzed failure modes.

The course covers advanced maintenance techniques, reliability improvement strategies, and cutting-edge technologies to ensure high efficiency and operational stability of these critical mechanical systems.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the concepts, principles, and practices relevant to the Advanced Reliability Centered Maintenance
• Develop and implement RCM strategies
• Implement and manage asset management and maintenance programs
• Increase leadership skills for improved maintenance team performance
